Covid Chronicles: My journey through the wringer (Page 8/12) Rickady88GT OCT 17, 06:26 PM quote Originally posted by rinselberg: I just wonder if there has been confirmation (that you are aware of) that it was Covid, or Covid combined with some pre-existing condition--or could it have been something else entirely? Not trying to be a "wise guy" or anything. I don't know this person's history, but I could not tell you anyways. It could be against the law? I will say this, the environment is full of current and ex-drug/alcohol abusers and smokers, live fast die young Yada Yada yada. Yes it is VERY possible that this person had other issues and it is also possible that this person was being treated for any number of serious health issues in addition to a positive test. All I know is this death has been ruled covd no matter what (if any) other afflictions were involved. Jonesy OCT 18, 12:35 AM quote Originally posted by Synthesis: My wife pretty much screamed at me yesterday for that one. I'm pushing myself too hard. You have to remember I went from competition level power-lifting (nearly 1000 lbs on dead lifts, 700+ squats and 435+ bench) to barely being able to lift my arms. I'm struggling here with the mental aspects of not being able to get out of my own way. I am on strict orders to watch my SpO2 today from the second I leave my chair to several minutes after I sit back down, to stop at each level for a few moments and catch my breath, etc. My wife will be checking on me every hour and has threatened to call 9-1-1 if I do not answer my phone. She is cleared to return to work and has to go in today. Sometimes we men have to swallow our pride, which can be hard, especially big and strong men. But the virus does not care how strong you are, it will try to kill you just the same. So pace yourself, rest when needed, don't push it, be patient with yourself. Especially now that your going to be home alone for most of the day i assume. Sorry im just now posting, but i have been following your thread intensely. Hoping your follow up gives good results.

It's possible I've missed one, but I don't believe he's posted since the resident forum azz referred to Synthesis as a "Drama Queen" in This thread five days ago.
